This is clearly the appropriate guidance. I've been away from HazMat Shipping for a few years, so was reluctant to take the time to find all that, but it is correct to the best of my recollection.
It is not clear from the original posting that the researcher wants to ship the samples for the purpose of DOT classification.
I would emphasize two points:

Some googling suggests that 49CFR 172.101 (c) 11 addresses shipping of samples being sent for analysis.

Good afternoon!
I'm wondering if anyone can give me some guidance on shipping samples that haven't been characterized. I have a researcher who is looking to ship four samples that he synthesized in the lab. They are similar in structure to ethyl diazoacetate (which is a 4.1). I've been looking through the guidelines, but I haven't been able to find anything definitive (though I'm not sure if I'm looking in the correct place). Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Vikki
